A lovely piece Andrew and it called to mind, 'The Hardy Tree' in St. Pancras Old Church cemetery. You probably know of its creation by Thomas Hardy when a young architect after he was tasked to move gravestones to make way for the railway. He couldn't bear to scrap them so 'planted' them around a tree that has now grown to embrace them.

"slowly being returned to the earth, as we all will one day" ... poignant, beautiful crafted words. Fascinating post, Andrew. Well worth bunking off for!
